Recovered Hawaii Photo Exif Data Test
.jpg)
Update: It appears as though my EXIF data is intact.
I'm attempting to rename my photos from April 1, but my "Date Modified" and "Date Created" stamps aren't right. They show April 4. So, I tried renaming in IRFanView using some of the EXIF data, but I can't get the EXIF Date Time stamps to work when renaming the files with IRFanView. So, I'm attempting to change the file attributes with something like Attribute Magic right now.
Update 2: I tried NameExif, and it's free, but not really flexible enough for what I need. (Go figure.)
Update 3: Yeah, OK. So I finally broke down and paid the $30 for Attribute Magic Pro. This is a slick little application. Basically, it allowed me to change the Windows Explorer "Date Created" and "Date Modified" file attributes to be the same as the "Date Picture Taken" in the EXIF data. Once I had modified the attributes, then I was able to rename the images as I normally do using IRFanView. So, I've now successfully recovered all of my Hawaii photos.
I still need to copy some Hawaii photos down from one CF card in my last functioning camera, however. So I still don't have an official tally on the number of photos I shot over there. My guess is somewhere north of 10,000 images.
And I've still not even really glanced at my photos from Day 1, or Days 8-10.
